About Cherena

Cherena Morlese helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression, addictions and trauma. She uses talking therapy to help people understand patterns, develop coping skills and manage life changes. Cherena is BACP registered and has nine years of professional experience.

Cherena works in a conversational way and adapts sessions to what each person brings. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking and behaviour, and acceptance and commitment ideas to help clarify values and action. She also uses attachment-based methods to look at relationship patterns and client-centred listening to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her.

Sessions often involve setting practical steps between meetings. Cherena may introduce mindfulness exercises and reflection tasks to support emotional regulation and sleep. She will talk through coping strategies for anger, cravings, low mood and stress so people can practise them outside sessions.

She also supports people with parenting pressures, body image and eating-related concerns, work and career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include codependency, communication and blended family adjustments. These are approached through discussion, skill-building and problem-solving tasks.

Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to small steps that reflect those values. It can help when someone is stuck, facing life changes or wants a clearer sense of what matters day to day.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns formed in early life and how they affect current relationships. It can be useful for people dealing with communication problems, commitment worries or repeated relationship difficulties.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, current problems and preferences and agree a way of working together. Plans can change as the work progresses, with regular reviews to check what helps.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and homework for remote sessions so therapeutic work can continue across locations.
